Well, actually a toy BOX, to be more precise.Image

Thanks to excellent service from Matt Miller, and West Coast Sailing, I was able to purchase this without having to pay to have it shipped in from out of state. West Coast Sailing is my local Hobie dealer, and they're only about 30 minutes from me.

Thanks! I was saving up all winter. Coming from a monohull dinghy, it was frustrating having to bring most of the gear inside my tow rig. The Toy Box even accommodates the trolling motor. I also mounted a Rubbermaid Action Packer on the trailer tongue. It mainly holds the PFDs.

The build quality is outstanding, and this thing is VERY heavy duty. I can fit both rudder assemblies, the rudder crossbar, the tiller extension, the mainsail, two paddles, and the kicker motor in it, with room to spare.

I did have ONE unanticipated problem:

It's airtight, and my trailer is aluminum. The trailer floats now!

I had to remove the end cap and let the water in before I could launch my boat!
